Note: In Islam supplicating to Allah and invoking His mercy has been regarded not only important but an act of reward, even those who do not turn to Allah and rely on their efforts have been warned vigorously. Islam does not advocate to abandon the efforts and put the trust in Allah, but it asks its followers to adopt all the possible and available resources and then turn to Allah admitting their weakness and asking for Allah’s mercy. In this regard, the Glorious Quran and Ahadith have an excellent set of Duaas, which guide us how to approach to the Creator of the Universe and how to beseech for his blessings. Apart from these two, there are many Duaas which are narrated from pious Muslim scholars and they are also very effective. Islam has not confined us to the Duaas of the Glorious Quran and Ahadith only, there is full freedom for every individual to read Duaas of any kind in any language one feels convenient for him/her, provided that those should not contradict the beliefs and teachings of Islam. So, many Duaas in this little collection may not be found in the Glorious Quran and Hadith but they are based on Quranic verses or texts that are within the circle of Sharia.

, . ,

. .
(O Allah! I ask You the good through Your knowledge and I ask You to grant me ability through Your power and beg Your favour out of Your infinite bounty. For surely, You have power and I have none. You know all and I know not. You are the knower of all that is hidden. O Allah, if in Your knowledge ‘this matter’ be good for me, my faith, my livelihood and the consequences of my affairs in the world and the hereafter then ordain it for me and make it easy for me and bless me therein. But if, in Your knowledge ‘this matter’ be bad for me, my faith, my livelihood and the consequences of my affairs in the world and the hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away therefrom and ordain for me the good wherever it be and cause me to be pleased therewith.) It is mentioned in the Hadith that while reciting this Duaa, on reaching the underlined words ‘hazal amra’ one should make intention of the need for which one is doing Istikhara. (Bukhari, 2/944; Uswa-e-rasul Akram- 252,3) ___________________________________ 48. Salatut Tasbeeh and Method of its Performing It is mentioned in Hadith that the Prophet (SAWS) taught ‘Salatut Tasbeeh’ to his uncle Hazrat Abbas (RA) as Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA) reports: “Rasulullah (SAWS) said to his uncle Hazrat Abbas (RA) “O Abbas my uncle! I want to make a special gift to you so that if you act upon it, Almighty Allah will forgive all your sins, whether old or new, open or secret, intentional or unintentional, minor or major. That action is to offer 4 Rakat Nafl Salah and in each Rakat after you have recited Surah Fatiha with one more Surah, you should say:

30

(I declare the purity of Allah; and all praise are due to Allah alone; and there is none worthy of worship besides Allah; and Allah is Great.) 15 times while standing still, again repeat it 10 times when you are in Ruku, ten times when you rise from Ruku, 10 times in first Sajdah, 10 times after you rise from 1st Sajdah and sit, 10 times in 2nd Sajdah, and ten time when you raise your head from it and sit before standing. The total Tasbeehs in each Rakat is 75 times. If possible you should offer this Salah once every day and if you cannot then offer it on every Friday or once in a month or once in a year or at least once in your lifetime”. (Mishkatul Masabeeh, 117) Necessary Notes: In the Ruku and Sajdah, first the Tasbeehat ‘Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem’ and ‘Subhana Rabbiyal A’ala’ will be recited thrice, then these Kalimas. Counting should not be done by word of mouth, as this act will spoil the Salah. Counting on the fingers or by means of string of beads is permissible. The best way is that the fingers should be kept in their position and be pressed one by one for counting. If one forgets to recite the Kalimas at any stage one should make up the number in the next stage of Salah except that no such deficiency should be made up after rising from the Ruku, between the two Sajdahs and after the 2nd Sajdah. In these three positions one should recite the Kalimas as specified and then make up the deficiency in next act. For instance, if someone forgets recitation of the Kalimas in Ruku, one should make up it in 1st Sajdah. Similarly the deficiency of 1st Sajdah should be made up in 2nd Sajdah and that of 2nd Sajdah in the second Rakat while standing, or if one forgets to do so then in the last Rakat while sitting and before reciting At-tahiyyat. If for some reasons Sajdah Sahw is required the Kalimas are not to be read in these two Sajdahs, because the number of 300 is already completed.

31

Except the three forbidden times (sunrise, midday and sunset) this Salah can be offered at any time of the day and night. 49. 99 Beautiful Names of Allah Rasulullah (SAWS) is reported to have said: “There are 99 beautiful names of Allah.
